What is salon financing?
Salon financing helps SMEs like you access the funding you need to develop and grow your business. Whether you’re a nail bar, hairdresser, barbershop, beauty parlour, or other SME in the industry, a salon loan could unlock many opportunities for your business.
Salon equipment financing is one of the most common reasons for external funding for salon businesses, with startup costs estimated at £50,000 for unfurnished premises. Having the equipment for your salon is one thing, but what about the experts to operate it? Hiring skilled workers for your salon is crucial for attracting new customers, and you can use a salon loan to fund your recruiting process.
Showcasing a range of quality products for clients to buy is a great way of keeping them coming back, but committing to products you’re not sure will sell can cause financial strain. A great way to cover costs like these or bridge a gap in your cash flow is through salon financing.
It's important to find the right salon loan provider for your salon's needs, so read on to discover why we could be the perfect lender for your salon finance journey.

How our salon loans have helped others
Olivia Crighton, founder of Hackney-based Glasshouse Salon, urgently needed larger premises to expand her team when her funding from a bank lender fell through.
Without the funds to relocate, she risked losing clients and stunting her salon's growth. Luckily, we approved Olivia’s business for a hair salon business loan. This allowed Olivia to double the number of stylists on the salon floor, grow her customer base, and maximise profits. Watch her story below.
